It's D, because the mean doesn't matter as much if it's only taken in a small variability. The mean was selected from 25 random pages in the book, that is why it is right.

Use the discriminant to describe the roots of each equation. Then select the best description. 2 = x2 + 5x. A) Double root B) Re

$\bf 2=x^2+5x\implies 0=x^2+5x-2\\\\\\\qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{discriminant of a quadratic}\\\\\\0=\stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{1}x^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{+5}x\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{-2}~~~~~~~~\stackrel{discriminant}{b^2-4ac}=\begin{cases}0&\textit{one solution}\\positive&\textit{two solutions}\\negative&\textit{no solution}\end{cases}\\\\\\(5)^2-4(1)(-2)\implies 25+8\implies 33$

so we have a 33, namely two real solutions for that quadratic.

usually that number goes into a √, if you have covered the quadratic formula, you'd see it there, namely that'd be equivalent to √(33), now 33 is a prime number, and √(33) is yields an irrational value, specifically because a prime number is indivisible other than by itself or 1.

so 33 can only afford us two real irrational roots.
